You can't connect because the server is outdated. Is it easy to update a server?
They made it so Sandstone is at the bottom of sand (For newly generated world), making the sand falling glitch not happen any more. Still happens to gravel though.
Also, something someone pointed out that I never noticed, your spawn point will always start on a block of sand.

No it turns out that logs no longer burn infinitely. So any fireplace I had or tower with flames on it burnt my house straight to the ground, when it was totally normal before the update. Fuck me hard Notch
Oh, I see, you had a fire place in a wooden house, and finally fixing that bug, causing it to spread.
Hey, if the bug is fixed, maybe Exano would be willing to turn fire back on, since I think one of the reasons he kept it off (Other then griefing) was due to there always been chunks of wood that would never go out.
Always loved being able to goto a new area, and just burn down a forest to make room for my home. Or just burn tall trees so I don't have to scaffale up to them to cut them down all the way.

Remember how you could end up with sand floating in a spot it shouldn't, so the moment you tried mining anything around it, it would all fall? Well, now when the world is being generated, it generates a thing of sandstone at the bottom of sand, so in spots that it would generate a bunch of floating sand it now has a base, so it doesn't fall.
The first thing is really wasteful, especially since it takes new people like me so long to make my own tree farm and grow wood or whatever. You could donate wood to people instead of burning the entire thing down.Drkirby said:
I'll also miss the burning wood effect, which was nice for an effect, plus I've even used it when exploring.
Finally, it'll be sad to not have Indiana Jones movie moments anymore. ;( Worst game ever now, confirmed.
See problem is if I update the server now instead of waiting a day or two, it'll be vanilla ruleset, and no mods will function. The biggest thing im worried about is forest fires.
But on the other hand, mobs will work and we'll have fun newfeatures.
I'm gonna give it another 24 hours, see where the community is at, and if they have relesaed the mods then i'll roll with that. If not, then i'll put it on vanilla for a little bit.

What I hate is when people take the trees the you planted and grew (using bone meal) around your structure and don't even bother to cut the whole thing down (floating bushes everywhere). I put some signs around saying to replant what you take, but I got a bunch of saplings under the floating bushes that will obviously never grow. Ugh, sorry for the rant lol.
Its the time it takes to cut down the trees. If you want to follow me and cut down all the trees, go for it. Heck, I would likely pay you in some way for it, I find it a pain, especially with the day night cycle, when I just want to make a shelter that can be easily spotted.Blizzard said:The first thing is really wasteful, especially since it takes new people like me so long to make my own tree farm and grow wood or whatever.

So my two block fireplace goes out due to the logs disintegrating. I figure, hey, i'll just put two more blocks back to test disintegration
Then my decorative gigantic trees and tree house thing burnt down.
Thankfully my last save was pretty close to where i was, didnt lose any diamonds or anything, but i did lose the big score of glowstone dust i found. oh well

Server is still on 1.2, I didn't update and I'm still able to connect.
So can beds be changed color by using different wools? If not, I am disappointed. I don't want all my beds to be red. But I do want to use them a lot. I wish I could make queen sized beds that were 2x3 by placing three of them in a workbench together. Especially since I already filled all my little houses with beds. I'd love to have different colored ones.
What I don't get is why they don't take advantage of MC's ability to tint certain tiles different colors. The Wool currently takes up like 16 slots when it could easily take up 1 with each wool being tinted the correct color. Trees and Grass work this way. Why not all other things that could benefit from a variation of color. Beds. Wood maybe having different stains. Wool. If I were Mojang, I'd be taking advantage of that like crazy. Since we can make beds with different wool colors, it would make sense to have different colors of bed covers based on what wool you use.
Also, shame time passes but stuff doesn't keep going, like furnaces don't cook when asleep. This has to be a bug since if I were to turn my oven on and go to bed, it would not automatically turn off and back on.
I wonder when Painterly will be updated. They didn't even put a notice up yet. Do they know it's out? I find no references to beds in their customization page.
Ambient Occlusion looks so nice. I am so glad I can finally use it. And it doesn't seem to slow me down either.

The lighting looks nice, but I seem to lose 10-20 fps playing with it. My 5850 1GB goes down to like...35-45 fps in places with it turned on and fancy graphics, so it's not super smooth walking around. Any advice? I haven't tried rebooting yet.
There's also an ugly moire effect on water but that may be the ATI driver issue where borders are shown around blocks.

Does anyone know how to figure out what the Seed value for my already existent world is? I want to regenerate it, but use a program to copy only the chunks that I've built on back in so I can take advantage of new stuff, but still have all my old stuff.
Also, on that note, I need a program to actually copy those chunks over. Nothing I've used on OS X has ever worked with my 200+MB world. I've spent so much time on this since the Halloween update I'd hate to lose all my stuff... yet.

AWESOME.
I could never get the lighting mod working. Now it's built right in. Now I'm happy.
Converted my original world (only place I've built anything worthwhile), deleted the others, went in, ran around my floating island with the new lighting and the tronic texture pack. Mm-mmm.

It's new. It naturally forms at the bottom of sand.Atomski said:

I said fuck it and decided to try my hand at playing single player properly for once. I'm playing with monsters on! Easy mode, but still. I chose a seed of 1979 (My birth year) and got to work. Built my first real starting house, complete with bed! It's smaller than a Japanese apartment.
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home.
Now to do some mining before bed and see how my first night goes.
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home.
Now to do some mining before bed and see how my first night goes.
The very first thing I usually do is get 3 chunks of wood, and make a wood pick and ax. Cut down a bit more wood, and be off. Then I try to find some exposed coal, and mine some out. After I get 3 or 4 chunks of coal, I'll dig up some dirt and build a 5x5x3 hut, if there is time I'll make a few things of glass. Put torches on the sides, if I have the change grab a bit of wool for the roof, install the door and windows, and be set.
First thing I did was explore a little then dig some sand and dirt. Then a tree. Made a bench. Made a house around it. Punched a few sheep and made a bed. Then made a door. Then some tools. Pickaxe, Shovel, Sword. Then mined some stone from a mountain before going to bed. Woke up and found a leftover Creeper that promptly blew a hole in some sand and only hurt me for a few hearts. Almost forgot I wasn't on peaceful anymore when I jumped down and hurt myself. Oops.
Anyway. Now I'm digging my first tunnel down into the ground. But I discovered something interesting. When you turn F3 on, you can see mobs behind walls. I know some people would consider this cheating, but for me, I think it'll help keep me alive for a while. I haven't met them yet, but it does tell me there's caves out there.
If you don't like it, don't turn F3 on.

I've been mining a stairway and quarry room at the base of the world for hours. Haven't been back to my home in forever. I don't even know how many days I've been down here. And I still haven't hit any caves or enemies. Though I can see dozens of them all around me off in the distance. I did hit lava though right above the ceiling. It didn't fall on me, but I did catch on fire after it landed and died once. Didn't lose anything much though because I made sure to walk away from it before I died. Now I'm making it part of the scenery down here. And lighting.
Haven't found any diamond or Lapis Lazuli yet though. And just two Gold and some Iron. And I made a compass I don't need because I got it mixed up with the watch AGAIN. Ugh. Two more gold for a watch.

Carry a bed in your inventory for now and use it as a makeshift watch. If you get the "You can only sleep at night" message when you use it, you know it's still daytime topside.
The F3 thing sounds like a bug in the latest version, as I've never noticed any mobs showing up before while using it.
Dammit, I didn't have this downloaded on my new computer on purpose. I'm hooked again.
I'm going back and looking through some of some member's houses, and holy shit...I can never get that good....building houses in the side of mountains? Wow.
I usually just start building a basic, square castle out of cobblestone on the ground.

huh, got a chunk error in the middle of the main room in my single player game...
took out some of my stuff, replaced with a giant block of stone. That's kind of a downer.. fortunately i'd m oved a lot of stuff away from there already but not everything (and I had a wheat farm and some paintings right where it happened)
